Consisten Communication
4/5

Abdullah was great to deal with. We had multiple conversations via WhatsApp prior to my departure for Tanzania and once I landed.

I find it a bit hard to leave a review because I know from talking to the others in our safari vehicle we all came from 3 different tour companies so I cant say if you will get the same driver, vehicle or cook. However, our driver Jonas (Yonas) and the vehicle he had at the time were amazing. I have nothing but good things to say about him and his desire and ability to make sure we had front row seats at all the best sightings and his care and attention to our enjoyment. It was a magical trip, one I would do again. Ngorongoro was probably my favorite, though the Serengeti was also mind blowing.

The 'rustic' camps were fun and fit well with my desire to be camping rather than in a lodge. The food was great, nothing fancy but always tasted good. Get used to variations of Rice, Chicken and Vegetables.

My only real complaint was the amount of time I spent and number of texts back and forth with Godwin, the contact in Arusha. It really frustrated me. I had arranged with Abdullah for a pickup in Arusha that I was told was "perfectly fine", however over the course of nearly a day I had dozens of text messages with Godwin claiming it was not an easy pickup location and I should find my own way to a pickup point. ie Pay my own money and find my way via taxi / tuk tuk to a location in a city I have no knowledge of, instead of them finding me in a city they knew. It wasn't until I had my hotel call Godwin in person that we finally convinced him to pick me up. After that, everything was good.

VERY NICE COORDINATION
4/5

found Uhuru Travel among many other tour operaters, Abdullah was the best option in terms of $$ & overall itinerary plan. I did 4 days shared tour of the northern safari, Abdullah has arranged for me to join other group with ( 7 wonders co ) which was very fun. Our guid was Robin, he is Professional & very supportive. Also willing to do extra things to make your trip more comfortable.

after the safari, I visited Dar & Zanzbiar. Both I had driver for me & were very fun & full of activities.

all the booking plans & transportation arrangement was done thur Abdullah, I only had to book my flight.

overall it was nice coordination & I would recommend both Uhuru Travel & Seven Wonders

Well organized, Uhuru Travel has a lot of knowledge on Tanzania providing a great safari experience!
4/5

Uhuru has organized a trip from Dar Es Salaam to Ruaha National Park. The walking safari was the highlight of the trip encountering crocodiles and hippo's from very close distance. Lodge was very nice and well located. All, including air travel, was organized very well and is was a very nice experience.

Two days filled with impressions
4/5

The trip to Tanzania will be remembered by me and my friends for a long time. We have never had such a bright journey before.
When we were going to Zanzibar, we knew right away that we had to go on safari.
Our choice fell on Uhuru Travel & Tours and we did not lose.
Abdullah selected the optimal program for us for 2 days. Always available via WhatsApp for coordination and always very responsive.
A huge thank you to him, his entire team and our funny guide-driver who accompanied us all the days of the safari.
Our first day on safari turned out to be more vivid, perhaps. Our small group was the first to discover the pride of the lion, which had not been seen by the others for several days. A rich program, a stop for the night at a hotel in the Mikumi Park, and most importantly, we managed to see almost all the animals.
It was a bright trip, well organized. Getting to know Tanzania was a great experience.
Thank you very much!

great safari in Tanzania Southern parks
4/5

we enjoyed 5 days safari with family in Selous, Mikumi and Ruaha. The organisation was just perfect, the guide Miriam very nice and the driver an expert despite the roads! they took very good care of us and made sure we had everything we needed. Only downside if I may was the car which already went through many safaris and was a litle old... thanks to the great driver we never felt in danger though!

Margaret who booked all the accomodation for us always made sure everything was going well and that was very much appreciated as we could add a visit in Zanazibar at the last minute!

Serengeti, Lake Natron, Zanzibar
4/5

We had an amazing experience with Uhuru Travel. Our accommodations, tent camps and lodges, were very comfortable. In the tent camps we had elephants, lions, hyenas and zebras around us you could hear through the tent walls, but we always felt safe. Our driver, John, was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and found us animals like leopards feeding in the trees, or lions stalking buffalo, that we would have missed looking for ourselves. The first thing we did was forget our camera in the car that took us from the airport in Arusha to our hotel but Mr. Loy made a call to our driver and he found it and delivered it to our hotel the next morning. Uhuru Travel did a wonderful job for our safari.

Great safari!
4/5

Our safari with Uhuru travels was great! We had a super guide/driver and saw a lot of animals; big four and more! Communication with Margaret was quick and easy. The campsites were nice, it's an exciting experience to sleep surrounded by animals (even though the matrasses were not very comfortabel- but it was a budget
camping safari, so expected). When we had an issue with our itinerary, that was dealt with fast and good. We would definitely recommend Uhuru travels!

Smooth operation! Helpful and communicative staff.
4/5

The service was great. They booked me with a Safari operator called Three Wonders.
The overall experience was amazing. 4 day safari tour went as planned without any hiccups.
The team was very friendly and communicative, whenever I required help or had questions.

rememberable wildlife experience
4/5

- safari itself was great, saw all animals i wanted
- kilimanjaro hike was also good, but with sub contractor companies (not uhuru travel)
- organization of uhuru was not on point, i was left in the dark sometimes until a few hours before the trip.
-communications inbetween the tour operators was lackluster

still had a good time, would plan differently next time, i guess i got experiences equal to money spend, it was budget after all

first africa experience so dont know if this is standard procedure

We are happy you had good time to enjoy your safari and experience African wildlife! Sorry we did not inform you before but your group to safari changes travel dates and since we had given you confirmation as solo traveler we thought was wise not to cancel your safari but find an alternative means to make sure you do your safari as planed.
